Hello everybody, I'd like to join the 2014 java dev room with a talk. Proposal: Title: Enhanced oblivion Abstract: One of the key concepts in IT is caching. Of course, there is lots of caching happening within Java applications, too. However, some Java caching products are dead and others seam a little stale. Hey, LRU was invented long ago, what about recent cache algorithms? I'll talk about modern cache eviction algorithms, why we should care (or not care), what improvements are possible and how to use the cache as a swiss army knife within your application. Maybe, I'll also have some short remarks on the Java Caching Standard (JSR107). Speakers: Jens Wilke, headissue GmbH Started hacking on Open Source in 1993, but got lost in translation meanwhile. Most of the time he is fiddleling around to improve performance within Java applications or to remind fellow colleagues that this program statement might have a serious power drain. As part time general manager of headissue he also works on a holistic approach on optimization. Since this produced no substantial results and needs restarting from time to time, it is now called iterative development. If not working, he enjoys nature on a sailing boat or is playing drums.
